Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imaging lens includes negative first lens having a concave image-side surface, positive second lens having a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region, an aperture stop, and positive third lens having a convex image-side surface in the paraxial region, which are arranged in this order from an object side. The Abbe numbers of materials constituting the first lens and the third lens for d-line are greater than or equal to 40. The Abbe number of a material constituting the second lens for d-line is less than or equal to 40. When the focal length of an entire system is f, and the center thickness of the second lens is D 3 , and the focal length of the first lens is f 1 , the following formulas (1′) and (2) are satisfied: 1.7< D 3/ f <2.9; and  (1′) −5.0< f 1/ f <−1.8.  (2)
